Here is a short You Tube look at the Little Golden Books versions of Supercar (1962) and Fireball XL5 (1964), published in the USA.
Little Golden Books were small, 24 page hardbacks, with a black and gold spine. Full colour illustrations for young readers.
A good reference on these books is Collecting Little Golden Books, Steve Santi, Krause Publications, 5th Edition 2003. Mostly black and white, with only a few colour pages. 560 pages. Apart from the normal LGB, there was also a Supercar Cut-out Coloring Book.
Three photographs, all from Worthpoint.
Do you have anything like these?

Fascinating Paul. I may have had one of these as a kid!
